Hi my name's Paul,
although I have been known by the names, Iron head Jurgen Haagenschlanger, Elvis and Pom Pom.
I lived in New Zealand from Nov 07 to Aug 08, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life
I now play rhythm guitar for a peterborough band called the 925s with a really, really good bunch of dudes.
I am a punk rock legend.
Judge me be your standards if you like, it really won't bother me if I fail to impress you, I've got my own agenda.
Im a Flat out dreamer,
an occassional achiever...
I think I may have finally acheived something..........

-----------------------"sport is my anger management. Sport is cheaper than drink, cheaper than drugs, and a better high altogether, adrenaline is cheaper than cocaine. Sport takes me to a place where nothing else matters. Where nobody hassles me, nobody loves me and nobody hates me. A place between home and work. Not quite Rest, not quite recouperation. A place where I use my body for something it really needs. A place without deadlines, and the tick tock of life. Where final demand letters don't matter. Where mountains become molehills. Where it's not about competition or who's boss. A place with no gold medals or prize money, with no memory, no location. A place called me".--------------------------------------------------------

"In waiting for a wave, in sitting out there between sets, bad thoughts, obsessive thoughts, will surface, but while actually riding, while standing up and searching for that rhythm, no matter how awful the day I'm having, my mind is clean and clear and blank and therefore content. I have never, not ever, had a conscious thought, good, bad or indifferent, while in the act of riding a wave. Some days I really need that vacuum, that purity. "
- Alan Weisbecker (surfer, author of Cosmic Banditos and In Search of Captain Zero, nomad
I truely love this place, it relaxes me and makes me content.
